Add support for re-ordering imports

+1 alphabetizing them would be great

👍 Would be great to see the import sorted into alphabetical order

Might be nice to have a shortcut for that. ATM I'm marking the use lines and use :sort.

The current code for insert looks like this :

 " insert after last use or namespace or <?php
if search('^use\_s\_[[:alnum:][:blank:]\\_]*;', 'be') > 0
    call append(line('.'), use)
elseif search('^\s*namespace\_s\_[[:alnum:][:blank:]\\_]*[;{]', 'be') > 0
    call append(line('.'), "")
    call append(line('.')+1, use)
elseif search('<?\%(php\)\?', 'be') > 0
    call append(line('.'), "")
    call append(line('.')+1, use)
else
    call append(1, use)
endif

After this gets executed, we are sure that there is at least one use statement.
I guess we could call search('^use\_s\_[[:alnum:][:blank:]\\_]*;', 'be') again (if be means "from the beginning", it is important to search from the beginning because use is also the keyword for using traits), and then call sort on the current §, so if anyone knows how to do that…

In fact, it is a bad idea, the sort should be callable even when not inserting anything.

I have a work in progress on my fork. It is very basic ATM, there are more edge cases to handle I guess, but it is a start. It defines a new method that sorts use statements. Works only if they are already isolated in one paragraph.
